Celebrate New Year with Caller Entertainment’s Top 5 Weekend Picks

December 27th, 2012 admin

Now that we have survived the Apocalypse and the holidays, there is only one thing you have to worry about — how you will ring in 2013. It is officially time to party. Put on those tacky party hats. Ladies pull out that sequin number you have been saving all year to wear and find someone you want to kiss at midnight because this week's edition of Caller Entertainment's Top 5 Weekend Picks with Sarah Acosta is all about which New Year's Eve party you're going to attend on Monday.

Make it Rain: If you haven't checked out the new club off 4244 South Padre Island Drive, then don't miss this New Year's Eve party at XS Ultra Lounge from 10:30 p.m. to 4 a.m. "Times Square on the Bay," will include a snow machine, a ball drop with confetti and even $1,000 rained down at midnight. Cover is $5 for men and $10 after 2 a.m. Ladies get in free. Dress code will be enforced, so make sure to dress to impress. You must be 21 years or older to get in.

Spaz Out: If you are looking for a great cover band to dance and sing along with while greeting 2013, then make your way to Brewster Street Ice House on 1724 N. Tancahua St. The party, which likely will be a sold out affair, will feature the 1980s cover band The Spazmatics. Individual tickets with a party package cost $50 which includes a Champagne toast at midnight, a midnight buffet and party favors. Read the full story here.

Ball Drop: Katz 21 has relocated to 5702 Spohn Drive and is bigger and more polished than ever. Which means its New Year's Eve party will be massive with three of its ballrooms conjoined with a piano and jazz band, three bar locations and a free Champagne toast at midnight with a ball drop on the dance floor. Cover is $25 per person or $40 per couple. Sit down dinners with set menus will start from 5 to 7 p.m. and cost $55 per person, and dinners from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. are $80 per person. The attire is business casual. You must be 21 years or older to attend.

Party & Stay: Take in the New Year in style at the Omni Bayfront Hotel at 900 North Shoreline Blvd. from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. with the band Flash Back in two of the ball rooms on the third floor. Your $50 ticket will get you a Champagne toast at midnight, party favors, and a hot breakfast buffet at 12:15 a.m. The hotel is encouraging party guests to have a good time and ride the elevator home by purchasing its $199 package including one room with late check out and two tickets to the party. You must be 21 years or older to attend. Attire is festive.

Downtown Party: Bring in 2013 with several different parties in one, at Aria Loft & Terrace at 326 North Chaparral St. Enjoy three DJs and an eight piece band on the rooftop. Doors open at 9:30 p.m. Cover for men is $15 and ladies pay $10. Couples get in for $20. Make sure to dress to impress.
